Hikvision has released its new DIS series analogue cameras – the DS-2CE1582P(N)-VFIR3 600TVL IR bullet camera and the DS-2CE5582P(N)-VFIR3 600TVL DIS IR dome camera, pictured. Both of these models offer higher resolution and low illumination.
The DIS (Digital Image System) series offers features such as lower power consumption, and greater overall system stability. The company says it’s reinventing how customers view analogue technology.
Both cameras in the DIS family feature a one-third inch DIS image sensor with 600TV lines high horizontal resolution. Compared with conventional analogue cameras, which only offer 480 or 540 TVL horizontal resolution, these new cameras provide higher video quality and improved image detail, the makers claim.
These units employ a vari-focal lens, which allows easier focusing without requiring any movement in the initial camera set-up. Moreover, the two cameras incorporate excellent low-light performance with a minimum illumination of 0.1Lux @ F1.2 (with AGC on) and 0 Lux with IR. Armed with this advantage, they are able to deliver quality images for objects within 40m (131 feet) under low-light conditions or even in total darkness.
The DS-2CE1582P(N)-VFIR3 and DS-2CE5582P(N)-VFIR3 are able to operate in weather conditions ranging from minus 40 degrees C to 60 degrees C (minus 40 degrees F to 140 degrees F) without an external heater, which greatly enhances camera stability on virtually any site. Furthermore, the power consumption requirement is as low as 4W (6.5W with IR cut filter on), providing more flexibility. Rounding out these units, Hikvision’s IP66-rated housing also protects the cameras from external elements, such as rain or dust as found in harbours, industrial parks, and the like.
